"I've watched 'Taken', not 'Tekken'"

 I've watched "Taken" this morning, I mean 12-in-the-morning. It is a 2008 movie, but I only knew the existence of this movie few days ago.


A highly-skilled CIA agent Bryan Mills (Liam Nesson), has retired from the agency, just to rebuild his relationship with his underage-teenage-daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace). Even though Mills is a loving-parent but because of his job, which required him to work outside of his own country most of his time, led to his divorce with his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen).


Kim wanted to travels to Paris with her best friend, Amanda (Katie Cassidy). But because she is a minor, she need both of his parents' agreement for her to travel. Mills agreed but only if Kim can promise Mills' requests. One of the request is call Mills when she is landed at Paris.


Kim & Amanda has arrived at Paris & met this charming young guy, Peter, while waiting for taxi. Peter suggested to share a taxi from the airport. Peter learnt that both of them were staying at Amanda's cousin's house alone, and phoned this information to someone.


Kim wasn't calls his father & Mills was worried. Later that day, Mills called Kim & while on the phone, Kim saw some peoples entered to the house & abducted Amanda in  another room. Kim was panicked & go hid-out underneath the bed. Mills told Kim that she might will be abducted too, and told Kim to shout out every information she sees on the kidnappers. Mills taped the conversation. 


Shortly after, the kidnappers took Kim & picked up the phone. Mills told them if they let his daughter go & he will forget about the kidnapping. If not, he will look for them, find them & kill them. The listener responded, "Good luck!".


Mills asked help from him former colleagues, Sam, to analyse the recording. Sam told Mills that the kidnappers likely to be Albanian Mafia, which are specialise in sex slavery. Sam told Mills if he couldn't find Kim in 96-hour, he will never see Kim ever again. 


With all the experiences & skills Mills had, he went to Paris, trying to save his daughter. Will he ever succeed? Oh...I'm not telling you!


Liam said there might be sequel & I'm waiting! 4.5 out of 5.


Well, for your information, if you doesn't know who is Liam Nesson, I can tell you. He is "Zeus" in "Clash of the Titans" & "Colonel John 'Hannibal' Smith" in "The A-Team". And Katie Cassidy has joined as a cast member in Gossip Girl. Looking forward for her acting. =)
